Custom Floor Perfection: My DIY 1-Inch Transition Creation!

[@bobbyflores220]

it would have been a great video if you would have shown how you did the cuts..

[@ginag72]

Good problem solving! Unless you are a charging contractor or selling the place, don't worry about it. You live there so it's no one's business! Good job!!

[@scotcarpenter]

Thanks a lot!

I would recommend a marble saddle or wood saddle. You can notch out the edges of the door frame stop molding with a multi-tool and slide it right in. Good luck with your home improvement projects.

[@scotcarpenter]

Thanks for the tips!

[@TzNuts]

It's not a saddle it's a transition strip. If you go in a carpet store talking about a saddle you will get laughed out the building. Jfyi

[@599Dan]

@TzNuts you have no idea what you're talking about. A simple Google search will show you what a door saddle or a threshold is.

[@johnnybear111]

Could add a price of metal trim L or T to cover the seam between marble and tile

[@luissolares5286]

It would have been nice to show how you made the cuts on the table saw.

[@scotcarpenter]

Thanks for the feedback. I'd like to start adding those shots in. Just need to dedicate more time to it.

Superglue mixed with sawdust

[@RandyTalley-oe5mr]

I think it’s pretty cool

[@jt5747]

With a step that big you may want to add a handrail.

[@scotcarpenter]

Haha indeed

[@russellhaskett6830]

Will have the same issue soon. My plan is to put thin sheets of wood under the new flooring to raise it up. Always look at flooring thickness when purchasing.

[@scotcarpenter]

Great idea

[@johnnybear111]

I get this often when you need to bref uo subfloor so tile wont crack. I like to use like a schluter metal L or T to cover the tile end cuts, and then buty up a peice of nice angled wood like you have there for transition. That way it doesnt add much more height than you already have

[@scotcarpenter]

That's a great thought. Because yeah that lip that sits on the tile adds an additional 1/4 inch

[@penman1289]

Well done it looks great

[@scotcarpenter]

Thanks a lot!

[@michiperkins144]

Looks great 😊

[@scotcarpenter]

Thanks!

[@customizedtrainingservices2079]

This violates code in most places. The difference between two floors cannot be more than 3/8 of an inch. A short transition strip does not resolve this issue. A much longer taper would be the only solution.

[@scotcarpenter]

That's good to know. Thanks for telling me!

[@peteverrelli5797]

I believe any kind of step under 8” is allowed by code. I see floors with 8” height differences all the time.

[@chrismcpherson7582]

Can you cite this please? I legitimately do not believe this.

[@peteverrelli5797]

@@chrismcpherson7582 Step down foyers and step down living rooms are very common where I live. Private homes do not need to be ADA compliant.

[@johnnybear111]

No

[@WeWander2]

Not ideal, but you pulled it off for now 😊

[@zoso1123]

Why is your bathroom floor so built up?

[@scotcarpenter]

I'm not sure exactly. The homeowner before did this. It looks like they used a really thick hardboard (it's a wooden subfloor) and then the tile on top.

[@joewreckingballbiden9156]

I would have made the threshold wider to reach to the outside of the doorframe and put a longer bevel on it so the rise is not so abrupt. So you have a quarter inch rise at the beginning, it looks like you have about a 3 quarter inch rise at the beginning. Too abrupt, tripping point.

[@scotcarpenter]

I agree it's a bit high, and Id like more of a ramp

What is that flooring you used in the bathroom?

[@scotcarpenter]

LifeProof Vinyl Tile Flooring Color: Overlook Slate I like it a lot and it went down really easy!

[@sarahl.2978]

I had this same issue but I found a step transition at Lowe’s. Price was about the same and it looks just like the one you made

[@scotcarpenter]

Thanks for letting me know! I have another one I'll have to do soon, might rather just get it there.

[@ClubMayview]

I see lots of stubbed toes in your future

[@AnthonyWilliams-id3gm]

Everything was copacetic until you pulled out the the screws under cutting the door stops and slepping it in on top of a generous portion of good construction adhesive would have been my method😂😂😂 but those screws look great from my hous😂😂😂e

[@scotcarpenter]

Yeah, looking back, I think Id do that next time.

[@mikewidget7610]

You made it worse. Better to pitch the last plank on an upward angle

[@scotcarpenter]

Interesting idea. I might still try that. Thanks!

[@AlexB-hp3dj]

Get yourself some Staind filler and stain it.

[@scotcarpenter]

Nice tip! Thanks

[@bobbg9041]

Transitions are trip hazards. After tile and hardwood floors if you do it right you don't need one..

[@scotcarpenter]

You're absolutely right. I didn't rip up the tile underneath

[@daviddring8692]

OK. But you really need to take out the screws on flooring. It obviously can't expand there. So really no point in leaving any gap. Your whole point of your video. Was how to cover that gap . Which is definitely wrong way to do it

[@user-tb6mg8ik9m]

Trailer Park Perfection maybe 🤔

[@scotcarpenter]

Haha tbh you're right

[@daviddring8692]

Don't know who on earth told you 1 inch. 10mm is fine, especially as yours looks like engineered But what has certainly been done wrong is screw down your end board. That is common sense. How can it expand if screwed down. If I were you. I'd take down this video. You'll get ridiculed

[@scotcarpenter]

Thanks for the feedback! All I do is show what I did, and for me, it has worked. It's up to the viewer whether they want to listen or agree.

[@TzNuts]

Lol 16 dollars for 4 feet 🤣. They make transition strips for both tile and fake wood
